Parish Services
Communion to the Sick:
If an elderly person, a shut in, a sick person, or someone unable to attend Mass would like the Eucharist brought to him or her, please call the Parish Office to make arrangements. Communion is usually brought to the homebound on the first Friday of each month.
Marian Devotions:
Marian devotions have been held since 1989 and continue every Thursday. The devotions begin at 7:00am with the rosary, a 7:30am Mass followed by the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary. A basket for prayer intentions is presented at the Mass. Confessions are heard the first Thursday of each month immediately after Mass.
First Friday Group:
Each first Friday of the month, after the 7:30am Mass, coffee and rolls are served. All parish members are invited to attend. The social gathering is over within an hour and is a beautiful climax to the spiritual blessings that are bestowed on those who share in the celebration.
Prayer Tree:
Anyone can call for prayers from the people of the parish. Parishioners volunteer to be part of the Prayer Tree network. To volunteer your services or to have an intention included, please contact the Parish Office.
Children of God:
This program is for children ages 4 and 5, and are held two Sundays a month during the 8:15am liturgy. The children are read Bible stories and learn how it applies to their daily lives.
CARE Ministry:
This is a way of providing one on one support and a listening presence to persons going through a time of transition, difficulty, grief or change in their lives. It can also be a means of companionship, especially for our people who are homebound or in care facilities. The goal is to be a responsive to our people as we can possibly be.
Meals Ministry:
The Meals Ministry is a network of people who are willing to occasionally provide a meal for people and families who are coming home from the hospital, receiving treatments as out patients, ill at home, grieving, or need a break from the care taking demands of a special needs child, sibling or parent. The parish also provides a monthly meal to the Freedom House. For more information on this Ministry, please contact the Parish Office.
